How the Mighty have Risen?

It's somewhat surprising. It's something quite remarkable really. It's even a little bit unbelievable. The thing that is surprising, remarkable, and unbelievable is the gritty and gutsy rebounding of the University of Michigan's football team after their 0-2 start.

Prospects were bleak for a winning season after that debacle in losing to lower tiered Appalachian State in their home opener and then the following week losing to a very talented Oregon Duck team that's fresh off a defeat of USC and is currently ranked #5. Yet weeks later, Michigan finds itself undefeated in the Big Ten Conference with more than meaningful games (re: important now) still yet to play against Michigan State, Wisconsin and the season finale at home against Ohio State.

Go figure. Big Blue still has a chance to make up for those two early season losses and even making it to a BCS bowl if they win out. It probably won't happen, but they're still in contention after all this. Go Big Blue!
